President Trump’s inauguration will usher in a new era focused on American strength – including a strong economy, a strong border and a strong military.

This legislation is the most significant immigration enforcement and border security related bill to pass the Senate in nearly three decades.

The U.S. Senate Monday voted to proceed with consideration of a bill that would impose new mandatory immigration detention requirements for immigrants charged with property crimes and give broad legal standing to state attorneys general.

The House voted 263 to 156 to approve the Laken Riley act, sending the measure to Trump for his signature. The measure would make it easier for federal immigration officials to detain and deport those without legal status who are charged with specific crimes.

The president’s Day 1 actions included directives that fly in the face of legal limits on involving the military in domestic operations and the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship.

The bill includes provisions introduced by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) mandating the detention of individuals charged with crimes causing death or serious bodily harm. An amendment by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) adds mandatory detention for those who assault law enforcement officers.

The House voted on an amended version of the Laken Riley Act on Wednesday, two weeks after it initially passed the bill.

The Laken Riley Act will now go to Trump's desk and symbolically will become the first measure he signs into law of his second administration.

After his swearing-in on Monday, Trump will declare a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and tap the military to deploy there to build additional barriers. He will also roll back many of President Biden’s actions in an attempt to essentially close off the border from any migrants seeking to make asylum claims.
